Camera
Player One camera may look similar to all the other Chinese cameras on the market but after a few years of testing we assure you they are far from it, lower noise, less banding and a global shutter not to mention significantly higher build quality and attention to detail.
All this stands the Poseidon head and shoulder above its contemporaries in our humble opinion.
